WORCESTER, Mass. (Janvye 24, 2018) – One of New England’s leading pro prospects, jinyò wèltèr Oma Bordoy, Jr, has prepared to make a statement February 10th nan “New England nan lavni 5”, presented Rivera Promotions Entertainment (RPE), nan Paladyòm la nan Worcester.
Fighting out of Danbury, Connecticut, Bordoy (3-0, 1 KO) faces Puerto Rican-born opponent, Alexander “El Bravo” PICOT (2-4-1), in a four-round bout. “My opponent is tough, and he always comes to fight,” Bordoy said. “He keeps coming forward and that’s going to make for an exciting fight.”
The 22-year-old Bordoy is the typical example of a volatile teenager who found his way in boxing. He was a high school football player who started boxing at the age of 17. Bordoy had an abbreviated amateur career, highlighted by his winning performance at the New England Golden Gloves as a novice boxer.
“I was a bad hot head as a kid,” Bordoy admitted. “Yon jou, my cousin Edgardo, invited me to his gym after football practice and he beat me up. I was knocked down a few notches. I got into boxing and enjoyed watching Miguel Cotto ak Mike Tyson. I even have some of Cotto’s tattoos. Koulye a,, I’m more of a boxer, like a PERNELL Whitaker oswa Floyd Mayweather, Jr. I’m a come- forward boxer who can still brawl. I’m working on my defense and feel that making adjustments in the ring is what I do best.”
Bordoy, Jr. credits Team Bordoy — manadjè A.J. Galante, tèt antrenè Bennie Little, cut-man Luis Marichal, strength-and-conditioning coach Chris Mulfalmi ak Dave McDonough – for his success.
“I’m pleased to be with the right people to bring me to the top and I’m willing to do what’s needed to get there,” Bordoy added.
Bordoy, who works fulltime as a repair technician, made his pro debut last May and he fought a total of three times in 2017, his most recent last October in Worcester on an RPE-promoted show, in which he stopped 34-fight veteran Bryan Abraram nan wonn nan katriyèm.
“We enjoy working with Team Bordoy,” pwomotè Jose Antonio Rivera remarked. “I am proud of Omar and his accomplishments so far. He is a young, throwback fighter with a lot of potential. I see big things in his future and I am glad to see he is being guided in the right direction by his team.”
